Peter O'Toole retires from acting.

I haven't seen Peter Medak's THE RULING CLASS, widely considered a triumph for Peter O'Toole. But here's a random list of O'Toole films I have seen--some are classic, others aren't, but all are worth watching for what he contributed in terms of talent and craft: LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, LORD JIM, WHAT'S NEW, PUSSYCAT?, BECKET, THE LION IN WINTER, GOODBYE MR. CHIPS, MURPHY'S WAR, THE STUNT MAN, MY FAVORITE YEAR, CREATOR, CLUB PARADISE, LASSIE, VENUS.
